Hey Apple, help us kill business cards (thenextweb.com)

A funny thing just happened to me...

Some context: This guys is severely annoyed/inconvenienced by business cards, so he wrote a piss-and-moan column about how everyone else's solutions have been inferior so far. Then he ends it by asking Apple to solve this problem for him.

The funny thing: While trying to read his column, I noticed a site-specific toolbar at the bottom of my screen taking up real estate and forcing me to scroll more than I care to. So, I moused down to turn it off. On the way I rolled over a mouse-over flash add which immediately obscured more of the article than the toolbar did. That's when I clicked "back."

Maybe this guy should write Apple an open letter about his site's usability problems and see if they'll fix them...
